[Eurobabe]

Go here: http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/senate/1/votes/147/?hpid=topnews

Seems like the peace-loving Librans and testy Scorpions cast the most aye votes.

[Blue_In_AK]

1. Libras rock. n/t

[Dervill Crow]

5. Thanks, Blue -- thank you very much! LOL eom

[Blue_In_AK]

24. And I like your name.

Are you my sibling? :rofl:

[Dervill Crow]

32. And I yours!

You never know . . . :hi: I compared profiles, and we joined DU about the same time. I've heard of coincidences like that with sibs separated at birth, but there were probably LOTS of us who were blue in November of 2004.

Things are lookin' up, though, methinks.

[Eurobabe]

34. Alright you lovable, agreeable Libras, stop proving the point

:hi: :hug:

[Dervill Crow]

35. LOL - don't worry, I can be a bitch.

It all balances out. ba-da-bum!

[Blue_In_AK]

48. LOL.

I hear ya!

[Mandate My Ass]

18. I dated a Libra once

I agree. They are definitely among the "make love not war" crowd.

He was very sexy too, in that cerebral way. He liked testing certain hypotheses. :evilgrin:

[BlooInBloo]

46. What's with libras choosing names with "blue" in them? LOL!

[liberal N proud]

2. What's next how they voted by hair color?

[Eurobabe]

4. pubic would make it interesting

:rofl:

[SidDithers]

25. Grey would win...nt

Sid

[Eurobabe]

28. And we'd know who was really coloring their hair

on their head. :rofl:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. that qualifies as news in the new and improved WaPo.

The idea that the relative positions of the moon and the stars will force you to behave in one of 12 ways is about as reliable and trustworthy as the WaPo's editorial staff.

[Eurobabe]

6. after watching Bill Moyer's Journal last night, nothing surprises me n/t

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. I saw it too. wow.

it was superb. chilling, but superb. how far the media has fallen.

[Bicoastal]

10. I agree! Shame on them!

Plus, I'm pissed that more Aquariuses voted Nay than Yea.

Come on, Waterboys and girls! It's never going to be the much-heralded "age of Us" if you don't take your heads out of your asses!

:rofl:

[MissMarple]

16. That just can't be right!

FDR was an Aquarian. I'm an Aquarian.

How can they go to the dark side?

[depakid]

22. Confirms what I've been saying- The Post's become Tabloid like

and just about as credible....

Is it any wonder that they get laughed at these days?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

27. i used to get their weekly publication.

then, I read it cover to cover, not for information, but with the question, WHY DO I STILL GET THIS SHIT foremost in my mind.

I cancelled the next morning, and had to argue with WaPo person why I wanted to cancel. they offered 6 months free, they offered other stuff, and finally, I had to be blunt and tell them that their opeds, their pro bush push and people like broder made their paper unreadable. At the end, the poor lady quietly said, "That's not the first time I heard that."

[yardwork]

7. I'm disappointed to see so many Republican Aquarians!

They must all have some inauspicious planetary influence on their sun sign.

[Eurobabe]

9. Aquarians are supposed to be so altruistic, I am shocked as well.

[loudsue]

41. Aquarians are also a FIXED sign....it's really hard for them to change their minds

once it's been set.

:kick::kick::kick:

[Raksha]

42. Well, I guess it's a damn good thing THIS Aquarian

started out a Democrat and stayed that way! :)

[Colobo]

8. I'm a Libra.

[Eurobabe]

11. My moon is in Libra, LOL, Libras rock!

[HCE SuiGeneris]

13. I'm switching to the Libra party...

:party:

[Eurobabe]

15. Let's just run a 12 party system, make it easy

[Clark2008]

31. LOL!! That would be OK with me.

My favorite candidate (who isn't running) is Wes Clark and he's a Capie like I am. :7

[TahitiNut]

14. Virgo - warmongers, 2 to 1

Figures. :eyes:


O8)

[Eurobabe]

17. make that anal warmongers. the other ones probably have Libra in their charts

:D

[TahitiNut]

20. As a Cancer/Gemini "cusper" I'm not surprised.

:evilgrin:

[panader0]

26. Now wait just a minute... I am a man of peace & a Virgo

[TahitiNut]

29. See? That proves it.

Exceptions ALWAYS prove the rule.


:rofl: :evilgrin: :silly:
(That's DU approved 'logic.')

[bandy]

19. Scorpios make love, not war N/T

[Dervill Crow]

33. I've noticed that.

Libra here, married to a Scorpio.

[Forkboy]

36. damn straight!

:)

[MissMarple]

21. And ladies, it looks as if we saved the day. Also check by region.

http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/senate/1/votes/147/?hpid=topnews


The only region with the majority voting no is...yes...the South.

Region Yes No Not Voting
Midwest 15 8 1
Northeast 12 6 0
South 11 20 1
West 13 12 1
Total 51 46 3



:)

[Tom Joad]

23. I noticed that. I think they do that by all votes the cover...

It is really stupid.
Why not war vote by length of love line on right palm?

It is spreading myth and fantasy.
It should be in the entertainment section, if in the paper at all.

[Clark2008]

30. We Capies are a mixed bag.

Three all.

[Solly Mack]

37. What? No category for American Idol viewers?

Grey's Anatomy?
Lost?
The Colbert Report?
24?
The Daily Show?
Those who floss daily?
Those with dentures?
Strawberry,Vanilla or Chocolate?

[Eurobabe]

38. Hang on I'll write to the Post and request that esp. for you.

:rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

39. I prefer sheep's entrails myself

But, as thy say, Zeus's will be done....

[Blue-Jay]

40. Here's what I don't "get" about astrology:

Am I to believe that I have similar behavioral tendencies as 1/12 of the total population based upon nothing other than the month that I was born? That seems kind of.....dumb... to me.

Perhaps Uranus was in retrograde when I was hatched.

[Eurobabe]

43. Yeah, that's the fun part of it.

It's a conversation starter. :rofl:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

44. Well there are obviously 5 Pisces not getting to the beach enough

Tends to turn us into repugs or so I've been told. :silly:

[UNCLE_Rico]

45. A Liberal Libra - That'd be me!

I don't much go for astrology, but it is kinda trippy when I read what Libra's are supposedly like and find that they usually describe me amazingly accurately. I am most definitely a prototypical Libra ...

[Maven]

47. I'm a Libra on the Scorpio cusp!

WEEEEEEEEEE!
